that's the obama he and his campaign want to center and that's to obama. i think that that was so inspiring to many first time voters who went out and voted for him. race and too much. talking about race. focus on race fractures. that narrative a possibility. he understood that well better than anyone. and again, he didn't think that the country was in a post-racial moment. but he did think that the country could be in a post-partisan moment, although he was wrong on that score as well. but the whole premise of obama was that he was going to help us think optimistically about the country, the whole hope and change and yes we can was about that. i think think in transcendent ways about our connectedness as americans, as and as human beings to talk about race again sullies that that vision of of the country and his potentiality as a president. you know, you mentioned obama as a pragmatist. and i think that segue ways to our our next question, which i hope we can have some discussion of obama's role as an elder statesman in the democratic party. joe biden, of

obama: like the red wedding. [laughter] pres. obama: it is not just congress. some foreign leaders have been looking ahead, anticipating my departure. last week, prince george showed up to our meeting in his bathrobe. that was a slap in the face. [laughter] [applause] pres. obama: a clear breach of protocol. although, while in england, i had lunch with her majesty the queen. i took in a performance of shakespeare, hit the links with david cameron. just in case anybody is debating whether i am black enough, i think that settles the debate. [laughter] pres. obama: i will not lie -- look, this is a tough transition, it is hard. key staff are starting to leave the white house. even reporters have left me. savannah guthrie left to host "the today show." nora o'donnell left to host "cbs this morning." jay favreau left journalism to join cnn. [laughter] [applause] pres. obama: the prospect of leaving the white house is a mixed bag. you might have heard that somebody jumped the white house fence last week, but i have to give secret service credit, they found michelle a

who were some of obama's speech writers? >> obama's speech writers are not as well known. i think obama was himself, the most important speech writer to allow his time in office. some there is a book on my bedside table by one of obama's speech writers. to be honest i forget the name. he talks about the hope in changing times of america. in a way i hope i think that is because this is a little bit like the conservative i deal that you can only listen to the fox news channel. the obama speechwriters only had to channel the things obama had said in the past and then they were set to say that again. i think they are not remembered in the same way. as the reagan's speechwriters. i mentioned peter robinson and peggy knew and the first author of the westminster address. the author of the second draft but the first reasonable chance. he is working for trump now. they are a member about -- the thing to remember about reagan speech writers was the only one who really mattered was reagan. >> >> can i point to a couple more year he similarities? similarities between reagan and obama?

connecticut goes from obama to lean obama. significantly, north carolina goes from tossup to lean romney. so at the end of this, we're left with romney with 159 solid electoral votes to 194 for obama. each one was between 47 lean votes and romney's case 43. obama. 237 to 206 with 95 electoral votes up for grabs. >> bob: well, that is good math. who says debates don't matter? i said debates don't matter. i'm beginning to re-calibrate. i said they mattered in 1960 and 1980. this first debate may well have structurally changed the race. so i tend to agree with that. there are three states we ought to pay attention to today. try to go through the lean states, the tossup states. one of them is florida. the other is virginia. the third one is ohio. romney needs to win all three of those states. but he can get away with winning two of three states. we don't a map, do we? >> brian: we do! >> bob: thank you. in florida, romney has seen a surge. it happened in a couple of places. in tampa area, that is important. middle part of the stat
